Hi there and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear about your recent surgery and the soreness you have in your armpit.

Do continue to take pain killers if needed as some people can experience some nerve pain as the sensation returns to that part of the body.

Be as gentle as you can when washing the area and dab the area dry. A simple non perfumed cream such as E45 may be worth a try but don't apply too much.

If it doesn't ease or you notice anything else do let your breast care team know so they can assess you.

Do get back if you need to or if you prefer give us a call on 0808 800 4040, we're here weekdays 9-5.

Best wishes

Naomi
